Wow. My neighborhood is one of he safest in my city apparently (not really that much of a surprise). Almost no crimes have been committed within a five mile radius of my house, and even then it's mostly simple thefts until you get to the downtown area.

The area I went to high school in, on the other hand is within five miles of the only four murders in my city in the last month.

I don't know. Years ago there was a burglary. Then there was a time someone got shot. Mostly nothing happens. I walk around all sorts of hours. The last time I was wary walking around midnight, a man was walking by, I looked to see that his hands were empty and breathed a sigh of relief, no book in the hands. It wasn't the local predator preacher who likes to surprise you by jumping out to tell you about "the good word" at the most inconvenient times.
